I am originally from Georgia, and i wanted to go to UGA but couldn't get in, so i might try and transfer back there Freshman year. I'm also considering transferring to UVA, Duke, or Wake Forest.

Duke info: Sigma Nu, Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha Order are all on-campus fraternities that are recognized by IFC and have housing on campus. Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Epsilon are no longer affiliated with their national organizations, in fact "SAE" is now affiliated with a different national fraternity. (Everyone at Duke still calls them "Kappa Sig" and "SAE", though.) They are both off-campus and, thus, do not have on-campus housing. I'm pretty sure "Kappa Sig" is also not associated with the national organization because they tried to go by a different name for a while. Anyway, if you were a Kappa Sig or SAE at USC and then transferred you would not be a member of either of these groups.

The other national is Alpha Delta Phi. They haven't been SAE for over six years. I believe that SAE is recruiting next year

SAE is starting a new chapter at Duke next year? That should be interesting and confusing considering everyone still calls the old SAE/Alpha Delta Phi guys "SAE"!
